I did not fracture a rib, but did pull a muslce so badly in rib cage. I did it attempting to invert improperly (not taught correctly when I first started poling). It hurt so freakin' bad I was certain I fractured rib. It took couple of months to totally heal, I was not able to do a lot of things like cough, sneeze, movie without being careful, breathe, ESPECIALLY pole. After few weeks I did attempt a pole class and found out quickly, it wasn't gonna happen.
Take time to rest and let it heal. You'll be back before you know it 🙂

Yup, a few of us joined in sv chat Friday evening and had a pole jam. Some poled and others visited, it's all fun. And it doesn't have to be on Fridays, can make arrangements to meet up there anytime https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I've been to a competition and it was wonderful when showing appreciation by clapping and an occasional "nice" "amazing" "pretty", etc. within the audience. It was so enjoyable to focus on the performances and not the screaming and squaking. We also went to an air show performance that was again enjoyable and respectful, while showing appreciation for the performers.
I struggle with the videos of performances that I watch, and agree wtih tarah, the ones with screaming, etc are not enjoyable to watch. It seems to be a group of a few because the rest of the audience in the videos seem to be enjoying the performance. But that group of few can be distracting, um…are distracting. You are not the only one, LillyBilly.

No shame in wanting to change pole size. I started few years ago with a Lil Mynx because that's all I knew about. It was fine till I began to get more involved with pole and it wasn't working for me anymore. After two years I got a 50mm titan gold x pole and loved it. Then tried a 45mm at a studio and "loved" it. So after about a year got a 45mm chrome xpert, I was so used to titan gold I struggled on the chrome, so within few months got my 45mm titan gold xpert LOL I sold my 50mm and still have my two 45's. Actually, the chrome is up now. Depending on weather I think will determine which one I use.
And I'm not even as advance or experienced as others, but needed to get what works for me 🙂 I think we've all been there.

Hurt like a son-of-a-gun when I began working on it. Not at first because I was doing baby steps for a long time. But when finally realized at a workshop that I was able to do it and had confidence at home, yet a lot of pain. Went away and stopped hurting.

I'm not as advanced/expierenced as others; however, I love the veena grip for shoulder mount, actually I love it for super shoulder invert and have begun practicing going into gremini from it. I definitely a lot more secure in this grip in comparison the cupped grip.

No, from my desktop and laptop at home. Also uploaded a very short video last night, showed upload complete, processed and everything, as of now does not show on sv 🙁 Probably just technical difficulties?

I liked it, too. It is encouraging to see the wide age variety and how we relate to each other no matter what the difference. I also found that I wasn't asking myself "what the heck am I doing at my age" with all the support and encouragement. Weirdly, this is what makes me feel empowered and good about myself. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Just watched the video, you are amazing!!!! How long have you been poling? Hope you post more here and you don't need to be shy about it, you are very talented.

I don't know where you are located, however, I've purchased directly from xpole and also from veena's site. There was absolutely no difference in the time it took to receive. When I got mine from her, shipping was $20, can't beat the free shipping offered now 🙂 congrats on getting your first pole!

Should there be a link for the video? 🙂 Even though I've tabled the sm flip for now and maybe for looooong time. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

My understanding and according to veena's lesson, the hand of the shoulder mounted on is low and the other high. I sm and shoulder super invert on my left shoulder, left hand low and other high.
Also, my understanding of sm flip is over the shoulder that is mounted and low hand.

So far I have been able to go into super shouldermount https://www.studioveena.com/videos/view/4f8f84bc-6d18-4eda-b456-56390ac37250
The other day I tried going into gemini or scorpio and it's doable, just need to work on cleaning it up. I'll post practice of it in few days.
I've tried ther shoulder mount flip with veena grip, as that's how I was taught, but still can't get the flip, so tabled it for now. I'm sure other more accomplisher polers can give you more ideas.
